Hey, anyone with access to BBC radio three on Wednesday at 4p.m. GMT, who would like to hear the choir I'm in sing, tune in! We're broadcasting an evensong. The programme is:
Canticles: Howell's Gloucester Service. (Tunage! Absolutely awesome!)
Anthem: Nicholas Maw, Evening Hymn. (Sorry about this. It's a bit shit)
Introit: Boles, Adam Lay 'y Bounden. (This is awesome. Hope we stay in tune...)
Closing anthem: Smith, There is no Rose. (Nice enough.)
If you're in the Dublin area, come to the real thing, of course, at around 3.30, so that you don't get locked out.
Either way, I hope those of you who choose to listen (It'll be on the BBC webpage for a few weeks afterwards) enjoy it!

Thank you for the link, narya!
I see there are 6 days left to listen. I can't tonight, it's past bedtime, but I will tomorrow.

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Crucifer - sorry I didn't join in time to catch your broadcast. Hope there will be another opportunity sometime. Are you a Lay Vicar at Christ Church Cathedral? My youngest son is a probationer at Chichester Cathedral, and we are so proud and excited 
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

I am indeed, Elen.
Hey, if he takes a gap year (faaar in the future, I know
), send him over! Our Gap Year Scholars program is veeery good...
Chichester eh? Well then, your son and I have something in common: that rare beast, a female director of music in an Anglican cathedral!
So is your son in the choir school then, or his he an ex-scholarum probationer?
Very interesting organ there, I believe. A conglomerate of sorts: this one designed by Hill, but incorporating pipes from the older one, a Harris. (You don't get many surviving Harris pipes: another rarity!) Not taking into account the relatively new nave organ...
Sorry for going all technical. I've been in the cathedral choir tradition, boy, man and organ scholar for far too long. The geekiness sets in quickly, you know.

Crucifer - he is a pupil at the Prebendal School which educates the choristers as well as being a co-ed independent school.
Glad to hear you've got a female director too!.
And, would you believe it, my own church choir (which is led by a director of the RSCM) is planning a week over in Dublin, possibly at your Cathedral, although I'm not 100% sure of the details yet, to sing the services w/b 27 July 2009. Might even see you there!
P.S. no good asking me about the organ, but I'm sure you're correct!
